Fast Data on Cloudera is Landoop’s solution for running a current and complete
Kafka stack on a Cloudera Cluster; it is easy to install and manage whilst
providing advanced features. Our products are based on Cloudera’s CSD
specifications, so they are like any other service you can setup from Cloudera
Manager. Our offering consists of 3 products.

Fast Data is our main product, it lets you setup a Kafka cluster using
the Confluent Platform 3.1.1 components : kafka brokers, schema registry,
connect distributed, rest proxy— with a few clicks. Most configuration
options can be set from Cloudera Manager’s configuration page and all
authentication scenarios supported by the platform are supported via the
Fast Data CSD.

Service files (CSDs) use parcels to distribute software to the nodes
of the cluster. Two parcels are currently available. The first and default
distributes the kafka set of services. An additional parcel can be used to
distribute into the nodes running Kafka Connect, all the (stream-reactor)
Kafka connectors that can simplify your streaming ETL.

A collection of additional tools that we develop to assist you with managing
and understanding your operational Kafka cluster : i) the Schema Registry
UI to visualize lineage information and schema information, ii) Kafka Topics UI
to allow you to explore kafka topics and view or download messages, iii) The
Kafka Connect UI for building streaming ETL topologies.
The Fast Data Tools CSD will set them up in your Cloudera cluster within seconds.

A comprehensive monitoring and alerting solution that lets you observe your
operational Kafka Cluster in real-time. It is based on prometheus and grafana,
and the CSD provides a collection of pre-configured dashboards with the most important
metrics that you should need to keep an eye for. You can also build and configure
additional kafka metrics available.
